I am a short Filipino girl from Virginia with a big dreams and an apatite for curiosity. I use my photography, film, and graphic design skills to produce a master piece. I'm a problem solver in any situation and if I can't find the the answer right away, I do a google search.

I reside in a Appalachian valley in Athens, Ohio. I make my way back to Virginia Beach, Virginia on holidays for my mom's homemade Filipino food. For fun I watch Doctor Who with my roommates and make home made meals with them. 

The greatest thing I have done is going to Ohio University taking risks and being a trail blazer. I'm glad I have chosen this path I lead to better educate myself about the world and be part of people's lives.
